14 Signs That You Are Actually A Child Trapped In An Adult’s Body

Well, you've somehow managed to make it to adulthood...Congrats! But, you know that deep down you are still a child on the inside. Being a true child at heart is actually pretty great. You have a certain sense of innocence about you and the people around you love it. You can easily have a fun night by just playing games, laughing, and doing mischievous things with your friends. Enjoy it and embrace it! Never stop acting like your true inner child, even if someone tells you to grow up. Here are the signs:

1. You still eat the cereals you ate as a child.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese’s Puffs, Cocoa Puffs and of course, Lucky Charms (and you still save the marshmallow charms for last)

2. If you could, you would eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

3. The idea of the 25 days of Christmas actively excites you.

4. You still eat as if you are a growing child.

5. And when you get home from school you still get a snack...Preferably a Capri Sun & a Fruit Roll Up.

6. The opening scene to all of your favorite movies begins with this:

7. Your attention span has not improved since you were like 5.

8. You take naps...and probably more now than you did as a child.

9. You try not to spend any of your own money. “Mom, can you buy me this? Pleaseeee, I really need it.” She can’t say no to those eyes.

10. You wish your mom still did your laundry because let’s face it, she does it best anyway.

11. You’ve always enjoyed coloring, but now you can use the excuse that you’re doing it for your mental health because that’s a thing.

12. You still have a ton of fun playing board games and video games and love winning family game night.

13. You still want to keep a few things from your childhood because it's just too hard to part with them.

14. And finally, the thought of graduating and becoming an actual adult scares you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
